About the Book

In this book, author Jinghao Zhou uses for the first time the prism of public philosophy to examine Chinese society, modernization, globalization, and democratization as a whole. Challenging conventional thinking in China studies, he examines China systematically in seven aspects: history, ideology, economy, politics, religion, education, and China's future, and does so from both Eastern and Western perspectives. The volume asserts that the remaking of China's public philosophy is they key for the nation to achieve both economic and political prosperity, making the bold argument that this remaking can contribute profoundly not only to China's development, but to international peace and development as well. In Remaking China's Public Philosophy for the Twenty-First Century, author Jinghao Zhou uses for the first time the prism of public philosophy to examine Chinese society, modernization, globalization, and democratization as a whole. Challenging conventional thinking in China studies, he examines China systematically in seven aspects: history, ideology, economy, politics, religion, education, and China's future, and does so from both Eastern and Western perspectives. The volume asserts that the remaking of China's public philosophy—the very principles and precepts it now takes for granted—is they key for the nation to achieve both economic and political prosperity. Zhou aims for a peaceful revolution of China's democratization while he explores a new paradigm in China studies, making the bold argument that this remaking can contribute profoundly not only to China's development, but to international peace and development as well.

Review :
?[T]his book deserves wide attention and offers good material for contemplation and discussion on China's reality. It is not only good for scholars and students in the academic field, but also useful for politicians and policymakers in their future dealings with China.?-Journal of Church and State ?Using the prism of "public philosophy," Jinghao Zhou seeks to examine Chinese society, modernization, globalization, and democratization as a whole....While trying to predict China's future for the 21st century, the author suggests that the democratic system may possibly constitute the "final form of human government," even though it will "continuously meet confrontations from all directions," and that "remaking China's public philosophy is part of this process."
